A Letter To My Greyhounds

I love my crazy, sweet greyhounds!

Dog

Dear Autumn and Troy,

I know you have an extremely short attention span, but please read this. First, I miss you both so much! I miss petting you, Autumn, and hearing your sighs as I would pet you, and yes, bother you when you were relaxing. I miss how much love you would give to me, Troy, except when you would growl at me. I remember how scared I was when I first met you both, especially you, Autumn, but you both have been some of the most loving, sweetest dogs out there.

When we dropped you guys off at Michelle and Jerry's to watch you, I was so sad, knowing that it would be months until I would see you guys. Pictures aren't the same as seeing you two run around. I remember how fast you both would eat and how you would steal some of Autumn's food, but I admire how mature you have become, Troy. Even if it was by a little and not a lot.

It's funny how much love I had when a few years ago I couldn't understand how someone could love a dog so much. Now how can I not love you guys? I always say how much I love and miss you both, even in front of strangers. I always brag about how sweet and cute you both are. Even to my friends who have their own dogs. But I can't help but be one of those crazy dog people.

Not only have you both changed me, but I have changed both of you. Autumn, you have become more feisty and mischievous, yet you are still the sweet little dog we met almost two years ago. Keep sticking up to Troy and don't be scared (even though I'm still scared of him.) Troy, keep being sweet and for heaven's sake, stop chewing things up. Keep getting exciting when people come by. I'm so excited to see you run around.

Anyways, I have to do homework while you both have to nap. I love you both so much.

Love, Sarah

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
